Tip: Take a Picture of your Suitcase Before the Flight

The next time you check luggage on a flight, snap a quick picture of the exterior of the bag and its contents with your cell phone camera(assuming you have one, Geeksugar suggests.

For the inside…if you are trying to ensure a proper claim to the airline for reimbursement, you can show them a time-stamped picture of everything in the suitcase. Not a bad way to encourage along your claim.
